/r/HailCorporate is to document times when people act as unwitting advertisers for a product or a brand with an aim towards raising awareness of the pervasive nature of commercialism in our society and culture.

We have strict "Don't be a jerk" rules that are enforced with immediate banning for violating the rules.

/r/HailCorporate is to document times when people act as unwitting advertisers for a product as well as to document what appear to be legitimate adverts via native advertising.

What acts as an ad, is an ad, no matter if it was put there sneakily or because someone has become inured to a brand so far that they don't even know they are a walking ad.

We have strict "Don't be a jerk" rules that are enforced with immediate banning. The guidelines are more likely to result in a post removal or warning, but breaking them could result in a ban.


RULES
  • Don't use a brand name in title

  • Be civil

  • No name calling or being insulting. Historically people have had a very hard time with that and so we have had to also add as a rule:
  • No Swearing/cursing/cussing. Automod will remove your comment and no one will ever see it.
  • We don't need to explain 'be civil' to you, but if you can't obey this simple rule then you're out.
  • No personal information

    • Doxing, witch-hunting, etc. is a violation of Reddit wide rules and will result in a ban
    • Use the "[/new](r/hailcorporate/new)" function to see if it's already come up before posting.
  • Wash your hands regularly

  • You may be banned for the first offence

    TIPS
    • Replace any brand names (company, product, celebrity, etc.) with something less descriptive, like [COMPANY], [PRODUCT], [CELEBRITY], and so on.
    • Flair your post after making it or it may be removed

    THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
    • If you don't report a rule violation, we probably won't see it.
    • If you make a post or comment that violates the rules Automod will remove it and no one will ever see it
    • posts about r/gaming, r/movies, r/ama, etc links are not encouraged as we all know that it is filled with advert type posts in their own specific subject. However when a different topic comes up it may qualify. E.g. posts about a soda brand in a television subreddit

    'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere,' and because of that /r/hailcorporate condemns the r\bitcoin moderators for engaging in heavy censorship

    The reddit.com of today is different than the reddit.com of the past. Potential for censorship across the website has been realized.

    Is this a red flag?

    I was interviewed back in July for a company that ghosted me after my initial screening interview. I thought it went well as the person said I would next be meeting with 2 other people in the company. Then I never heard back . I even wrote a thank you which was ignored until about a week ago when they emailed me out of nowhere asking me if I was still interested in the job and then just sent me an offer. I never met or talked to anyone else apart from this one lady ….. opinions??

    This chocolate bar design is so amazing! Also all the top commenters of this niche sub somehow have intimate knowledge of their supply chain and corporate practices and are just dying to tell you about it.

    "Brat Summer" is HailCorporate af

    Brilliant marketing. I love CharliXCX and her new album is dope but all this "brat summer" shit and obsessing over her color and branding is nausea inducing... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-WIW30yD69/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
